Shrines are mostly useless and boring, here are some suggestions

Right now, for strong players the only somewhat useful shrine is the Acceleration Shrine which helps you explore and clear the map faster.

The others have negligible effect and some are not even worth getting:

Meteoric Shrine, Tempest Shrine, Freezing Shrine - they should be made a lot more destructive, right now I don't really see a difference except for the screen effects.

Seeking Shrine - this one should be 10000% increased rarity to maybe make it fun. Right now the 100% rarity bonus for such a short period makes no difference at all. It's already a quite rare shrine.

Enlightening Shrine - same here, 10000% increased experience. It's a rare shrine so it should be made worth it.

Greed Shrine - I tried this one a couple times and noticed a lot of my drops were being converted to 1 (ONE!) gold. The way it is now if I get this "buff" I right click it immediately. What is the point of this? Once again, if I'm risking losing valuable orb/item drops to get something as useless as gold, make it drop substantial amounts.

In D3 I would often save shrines so I could stack them and get all or most of the benefits all at once.

I tried this once in POE 2. Had the acceleration and ice shrines, figured I'd save them for when I popped the breach. Problem was, by the time I popped the shrines and got to the breach to pop it I had maybe 10 seconds left on the shrine buffs.

They should all be buffed to at least 2 minutes. Also an atlas passive to buff their duration by 50% wouldn't be a bad idea.

And remove the gold one completely.

TBH I think the shrines are mostly fine; though the elemental shrines should do something to help out characters that dont hit things directly (maybe apply a portion of their personal effect to nearby allies).

That said, the gold shrine has no business existing. That one should be a curse that some rare monsters occasionally get if you are very unlucky, if it even exists at all...there is no circumstance where I feel happy I find one.

All that said tho, I think perhaps the danger zone around meteoric shrines is a bit much compared to the others...those meteors are scary.

The gold one wouldn't be so bad if the gold rewards were massive.


Talking 5k+ gold if a rare is replaced through the buff.

And even then, it should only appear on maps with a "+ gold find" mod on the waystone.

Give us an atlas tree node that makes shrines have a 0% chance to appear in maps.

This is also true, they are so brief that it's pretty much pointless.
